I've been having this burning pain in my left armpit for the past two weeks. I got an ultrasound of my breast, and it showed enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits and a cyst in one breast. But the doctor said that couldn't be the cause of the burning. I'm really curious why there's still this burning sensation. I did notice some redness and irritation in the same armpit about three weeks ago after using some perfume, but that seems to have gotten better. There's no burning in my right armpit. Are there any ideas on what could be causing this since I don't see any visible patch?

This could be due to irritation from the previous reaction to perfume or other underlying causes. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing lidocaine may provide some relief. If the pain persists, you may need a prescription for a medication like gabapentin to help with nerve pain. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've had 20 injections of dexamethasone, gentamycin, and deriphyllin in my buttocks over 5 days. Didn't feel any pain during the injections, but now, two days later, there's pain and these lumps have formed on both sides. Been using thromophob cream and taking Zerodol SP for 10 days, but the lumps and pain aren't going away. What should I do?

I've been dealing with really bad sweating even when I'm not doing anything strenuous and it's getting embarrassing Are there any treatments besides surgery or Botox that could help

Yes, there are several treatments for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) besides surgery and Botox, including prescription antiperspirants, medications like anticholinergics, iontophoresis, and lifestyle adjustments. These can be effective for managing hyperhidrosis without the need for more invasive procedures.

I've been taking Allegra 180 for three days and stopped it, but now, around a month later, I've noticed lots of tiny dots in my mouth and they're kind of burning. Could this be a side effect from the Allegra?

The symptoms you are experiencing in your mouth may be due to a condition called oral thrush, which can sometimes occur as a side effect of taking Allegra. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension. You can swish the medication in your mouth for about 30 seconds before swallowing. The usual dosage is 4-6 mL four times a day. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing can also help alleviate the symptoms.
